I cannot set sourceFolders in maven plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set a property in your maven pom.xml file like 
<com.googlecode.jslint4java.version>2.0.0</com.googlecode.jslint4java.version>
2. add the following configuration
<plugin>
        <groupId>com.googlecode.jslint4java</groupId>
        <artifactId>jslint4java-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${com.googlecode.jslint4java.version}</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>lint</id>
            <phase>process-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>lint</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <failOnError>false</failOnError>
              <options>
                <confusion>true</confusion>
                <sloppy>true</sloppy>
                <widget>true</widget>
                <eqeq>true</eqeq>
                <white>true</white>
                <vars>true</vars>
                <undef>true</undef>
                <passfail>false</passfail>
                <rhino>true</rhino>
              </options>
              <sourceFolders><sourceFolder>${basedir}/src/main/webapp/assets/script</sourceFolder></sourceFolders>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
3. run mvn clean install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

expected output is jslint runs and shows you errors in the project

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0

I think the List<File> should be List<String> and then in the code it do a new 
File().

Thanks for the report.  I'll try and figure out why it's not working as I 
expected then fix it. :)

I had a really difficult time trying to get maven integration tests working, 
but it sounds like I need to redouble my efforts in that regard.

It looks like this is a bug in older versions of maven; I've only tested on 
maven 3.0.3, where it works just fine.  I tried maven-3.0 and it's definitely 
inserting Strings not Files.

Fixed in 0de26f13ae7fc232c886565ddb8fe909a02725e0.  Turns out I forgot quite 
how erasure works in Java generics.
